It's called a "terminal server."
Use a cheap terminal server.
I suppose, if you want 16-32-48 ports and a big honkin' box. I was
hoping for 1 port and a tiny box.

8 port terminal servers are quite common and they're generally about the
size of an 8 port ethernet hub/switch. A 1:1 serial to ethernet device
would certainly have its uses, but once you start dealing with more than
say... four serial consoles... a proper terminal server is the way to
go. Otherwise you're going to end up needing a bigger ethernet switch
for all those separate ethernet cables.
